Abstract

Studies of cultural narratives as indirect speech acts and persuasive strategies in health promotion remain limited. This study aims to discover how "Go’et," a cultural narrative of Manggarai Community Indonesia, is used as an indirect speech act and persuasive strategy in health promotion. It is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in the Rego dialect community, Manggarai, Indonesia. The study participants were chosen purposively based on predetermined criteria. The participants included healthcare providers, customary leaders, and community figures. Data from the study were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and Focus Group Discussion. The study indicated that the cultural narratives of Go’et in the Manggarai community in Indonesia are relevant to the context of health promotion. The cultural narratives are constructed in imperative sentences with the illocutionary power of advising, recommending and hoping. Using indirect speech acts through "Go’et" has become a persuasive strategy for shaping people's perceptions, beliefs and behavior.  Healthcare providers can adopt such expressions to positively influence patients' emotional states, enhancing their psychological readiness to recover or maintain good health. The study contributes to understanding how cultural narratives function as indirect speech acts in non-Western communities, particularly within the Manggarai context of Indonesia. By highlighting Go’et as a culturally embedded form of communication, the study expands the theoretical discourse on indirectness, politeness strategies, and persuasive communication in health promotion. Moreover, the study provides valuable insights into community-based health promotion strategies by emphasizing the compelling role of traditional discourse.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Quizlet, a digital flashcard-based learning platform, in improving the vocabulary mastery of junior high school students, particularly in learning collocations within descriptive texts. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design, two seventh-grade classes from a public junior high school were selected as the control and experimental groups. The experimental group received vocabulary instruction through Quizlet, while the control group used conventional methods. Data were collected using Pre-Test and Post-Test instruments that included multiple-choice and matching questions designed to assess students’ understanding of collocations. Although the independent samples t-test result showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05), gain score analysis revealed a higher mean improvement in the experimental group. The findings suggest that Quizlet positively influenced vocabulary acquisition, particularly in enhancing engagement and retention through its interactive features. The study contributes to the integration of technology in English language teaching, offering insights into how digital tools like Quizlet can enrich vocabulary instruction, support the Merdeka Curriculum, and address learners' digital tendencies in today’s classrooms.
